PAST EXPERIENCE

Q: Could you tell us a little bit about your background and Industry experience

Andy-I began working as an Automotive Mechanic at Verons Garage in Heswall, carrying out servicing and repairs, this involved fault finding on electrical and mechanical systems by using computer-based diagnostic equipment. I also learned the valuable skill of how to build and maintain a solid and transparent customer relationship.

My next rewarding role was as an Army sergeant, I performed the role as a skilled engineering manager for 14 years across a vast variety of platforms.

this involved 10 years of management and leadership, I enjoyed the challenge of performing to the highest standards and encouraging a team to deliver above and beyond the required tasks.

Prior to joining Turner Groundscare I worked in Fleet management, diagnosis, and repair of over 100 mechanical platforms including plant equipment, generators, HGVs, trailers, and class 2 vehicles. Managing a 35-person strong workshop with a vast variety of vehicles, ensuring processes and policies were done correctly.

I then joined the Turner team 6 months ago for an intensive 6-month field service familiarisation roll building relations with the companies’ customers.

NEW JOB ROLE

Q: What plans/ key objectives are you prioritising in your New Job role?

Andy-My plans are to improve customer relations, workshop morale, and workshop facilities. Communication is key, having good communication channels within the workshop will help with the smooth running of the workshop and customer experience.

(1) From September 1, 2017, certain new vehicles will be type-approved in accordance with the globally harmonized test procedure for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, WLTP), a new, more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 1, 2018, the WLTP will replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC), the current test procedure. Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values measured according to the WLTP are in many cases higher than those measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 1, 2018. The information given here relates to the type approval of the selected model in accordance with the World Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, WLTP.

(2) The specified consumption and emission values were determined according to the legally prescribed measuring procedure. Since September 1, 2017, certain new vehicles have been type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. From September 1, 2018, the WLTP will gradually replace the new European driving cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO2 emission values measured according to the WLTP are in many cases higher than those measured according to the NEDC. This may result in corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 1, 2018. As far as new cars are concerned that are type-approved according to WLTP, the NEDC values are derived from the WLTP values. They are used solely for purposes of comparison between the various vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (attachments, tire format, etc.) can include relevant vehicle parameters such as B. Weight, Rolling resistance and aerodynamics change and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior, influence fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures of a vehicle.
